  NPP Cannot Sell Leadership: The GHS 4.5 Million Filing Fee Is an Insult to Our Democracy There comes a time in every political tradition when silence becomes betrayal. The New Patriotic Party has reached that point. How did we arrive at a place where a presidential aspirant must pay GHS 4.5 million to exercise the basic right of internal political participation? Out of this amount, GHS 4 million is labeled as “party development fees,” with only GHS 500,000 being the actual cost of nomination forms. Let us be blunt this is not fundraising. This is monetization of leadership. This is the commercialization of internal democracy. This is not the NPP that Danquah, Busia, and Dombo envisioned. This is not the NPP we sold to the Ghanaian people as the party of merit, competence, and fairness. Instead, we are gradually becoming a franchise where leadership is auctioned to the highest bidder. If this continues, then we are no longer electing leaders we are buying them.  Competent Pat...

Rev Manu Commends New NDC Government's Fresh Approach to National Challenges Rev. Isaac Manu, Leader of the Presidential Watchtower and Member of Assin North Communication Team has penned a statement acknowledging the new approach by the NDC Government, led by President Mahama, in tackling Ghana's pressing issues, including the fight against illegal mining, also known as galamsey. According to Rev. Manu, the NDC Government has made a 120-day contract with Ghanaians, and it is essential to measure their progress without disruptions. He emphasized that the previous NPP Government's approach to combating galamsey was ineffective and even exacerbated the problem, necessitating a declaration of a state of emergency. In contrast, the NDC Administration has adopted a different strategy to address the issue, which Rev. Manu believes will yield better results. He stressed that the galamsey fight requires a comprehensive government machinery approach and that more actions will be tak...
